Project: U - the group of 20- and 30-somethings that parties in the name of United Way and community charities - will host a fancy schmancy Get Involved Gala, a.k.a The GIG, from 8-11 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5 at the Tacoma Art Museum. With the proceeds benefiting United Way of Pierce County's Community Solution Fund, party people will dress up, drink wine, nibble and win prizes while wearing their best cocktail attire.

This is the inaugural GIG. Project: U has eyes on making it one of the premiere social/charity events in town.

Want to go? Are you older than 21?

Tickets to The Gig are $30 before Oct. 15. Tickets purchased after this date will cost your $35.

The Project: U folks ask attendees to wear cocktail dresses and at least slacks and ties for the gents.

The Weekly Volcano proudly sponsors this event. Be sure to say "hi" in the wine line.
